Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Mark Williams announced yesterday that he is extending the food shrimp harvest season 15 additional days until 6:15 p.m. January 15. This means commercial trawlers may operate in state waters that are currently open until the 15th. Commercial and recreational cast netters and those who use beach seines may also continue catching shrimp until the new closing date.
